There was more than one Buena Vista and there is confusion as to which is which.

This Buena Vista has been reported to have been wrecked and a total loss near Milwaukee in August of 1975 although, she was involved in a few near loss accidents. She appears to have ended her career in 1888 in the Menominee Slip boneyard which is near the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Elevator A In Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
